Given all the hullabaloo[sup]1[/sup] that’s happened recently and how quickly things devolve into chaos[sup]2[/sup], I’d like to announce the opening of The Eutychus Appreciation Thread. With his retirement from Moderator status (although thankfully continuing as the editor of teemings for the time being), now seems an appropriate time for those who would like to show their appreciation for all of Eutychus’ many years of hard work and uncompensated toil[sup]3[/sup] to do so.
So, c’mon! Let’s hear from you![sup]4[/sup]

[sub][sup]1[/sup]“Hullabaloo” is an actual word. I looked it up.
[sup]2[/sup]Chaos! CHAOS, I tell you!
[sup]3[/sup]Coffee mugs not included.
[sup]4[/sup]Meaning the general “you.” No explicit invitations to any specific individiuals have either been made or implied. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Restrictions apply. Void where prohibited (usually Georgia).

Well, I didn’t really know Eutychus that well. But in my time here he has always done a good job, and I’ve enjoyed reading his threads / posts. I hope he reads this thread, and perhaps when he sees that he has so many friends on the board he will come back and start posting again. After all, it doesn’t matter that he is no longer a moderator. Thats not important. He is still a valued member of the SDMB, and he has a lot of support here - I’ve seen it for myself.
Here’s to you Euty! A wonderful moderator, entertaining poster and all around good guy. Your rewrite of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” was the only time in my life I can think of where I sat in front of my monitor and applauded to an empty room.
I have known Eutychus for a very long time by internet standards - going on six years now. I’ve seen him go through a lot of stuff, some extremely unpleasant. And I’ve never thought that he was anything other than a good and loyal person. I wish him only the best, and much much happiness in the future.
My wish for you is peace and happiness through out your life – whatever direction it takes you.
As everyone has said, I hope you make your home on the net here at SDMB. Rico tells me I really have missed something not getting to know you, so I hope to still have the chance.
